Lettuce Armwarmer Pattern on DPNs
(from Lettuce Knit Armarmers by Grace Alexander)
*For size small only. I used size 6 (425mm) needles and aran weight yarn.
RIGHT ARM:
CO 38. Work 1x1 rib for 1.5", increasing 1 on last row.
Row 1: P 2, K 13, P 7, K 1, P 16
ROW 2: P 2, K 13, P 7, K 1, P 16
ROW 3: P 2, K4TOG, [YO, K 1} 5 TIMES, YO, K4TOG TBL, P 7, K 1, P 16
ROW 4: REPEAT ROW 2
Work rows 1 - 4 until piece measures 8 1/2" from beg, then work row 1 & 2 once more.
Shape Thumb:
Row 3: P 2, K4TOG, [YO, K 1} 5 TIMES, YO, K4TOG TBL, P 7, PLACE MARKER, M 1, K 1, M 1, PLACE MARKER, P 16 (41 STS)
ROW 4: P 2, K 13, P 7, K 3, P 16
KEEPING CONTINUITY OF PATTERN, CONTINUE TO INC 1 STS AFTER FIRST MARKER AND BEFORE 2ND MARKER EVERY OTHER ROW 5X MORE (51 STS); 13 STS BETWEEN MARKERS.
NEXT ROW: WORK ACROSS TO WITHIN 1 ST OF FIRST MARKER, SL ST TO RIGHT NEEDLE, REMOVE MARKER, PLACE NEXT 13 STS ON A HOLDER, REMOVE 2ND MARKER, K 1, PSSO, WORK TO END OF ROW. (37 STS)
KEEPING IN PATTERN, WORK EVEN FOR 1 1/2", END WOKING ROW 2 OR 4.
TOP OPENING:
WORK 2 ROWS K 1, P 1 RIB. BIND OFF.
SHAPE THUMB OPENING:
SLIP 13 STS FROM HOLDER TO NEEDLE.
JOIN YARN AND WORK 2 ROWS K 1, P 1RIB, INC 1 STS AT BEGINNING OF EACH ROW (15 STS.)
BIND OFF LOOSELY.
LEFT ARM:
CO & WORK CUFF SAME AS FOR RIGHT ARM.
